Because GoodRx Gold is not insurance, prices may still be quite high for brand-name prescriptions. Our discounted prices will be lower than if you just paid cash, but they can still be in the hundreds of dollars or more.

Don’t worry though—there are other ways for you to save! If you don’t find a reasonable price using GoodRx Gold, we encourage you to search for your prescription on GoodRx.com. On GoodRx, we provide information and links to manufacturer coupons, patient assistance programs, and other ways for you to significantly reduce the cost of brand-name prescriptions.

On GoodRx.com, search for your prescription, then click on the Savings Tips tab from the menu on the left hand side of any drug page. Scroll down to see all of the available programs and discounts.
